For finder, this will be ok:

or this:

or this:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....l%3FMyEbayBeta

or this:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BSA-Holograph...item483b7e8403

(the last two are very well made, all metal construction)


All of those are way cheaper than Bintel and/or Andrews, and I have them all (or used to have them), they are quite adequate


As for counter-weight, a long time ago I made one from concrete - I used a plastic bottle as a mould and PVC tube in the middle for shaft. The cost: NOTHING (if I don't count couple of hours of my time)
